## About
|
|
|
|
[Lemmy](https://github.com/dessalines/lemmy) is similar to sites like [Reddit](https://reddit.com), [Lobste.rs](https://lobste.rs), [Raddle](https://raddle.me), or [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/): you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the [Fediverse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse).
|
|
|
|
For a link aggregator, this means a user registered on one server can subscribe to forums on any other server, and can have discussions with users registered elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
The overall goal is to create an easily self-hostable, decentralized alternative to reddit and other link aggregators, outside of their corporate control and meddling.
|
|
|
|
Each lemmy server can set its own moderation policy; appointing site-wide admins, and community moderators to keep out the trolls, and foster a healthy, non-toxic environment where all can feel comfortable contributing.
|

## Install
|
|
|
|
### Docker
|
|
|

Make sure you have both docker and docker-compose(>=`1.24.0`) installed.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir lemmy/
|
|
cd lemmy/
|
|
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/docker-compose.yml
|
|
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/.env
|
|
# Edit the .env if you want custom passwords
|
|
docker-compose up -d

[A sample nginx config](/docker/prod/nginx.conf), could be setup with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/nginx.conf

sudo mv nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
